After Action Report

The 76ers ran roughshod over the Rockets 127-103. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
